The MIT Enterprise Forum headquarters in Cambridge puts on three events per year where a nationally renowned speaker or panel takes on a topic or issue of significance for entrepreneurs. These events are broadcast live by satellite to the local MIT Enterprise Forum chapters who participate interactively during the Q&A segment of the program.
Elevator Pitch Forum 
During an Elevator Pitch Forum, emerging and high growth companies are pre-screened and then selected to have the opportunity to present their company to a panel of investors and entrepreneurs in 90 seconds. If you are seeking funds, the exposure and experience is tremendous. If you are an investor, you could find a new opportunity. At the very least, you will hear how other investors make quick decisions on whether or not to “take a meeting.” Traditional Pitch Forum
Traditional Forums bring together many of the region’s top high-tech minds in a unique forum that showcases the business plans of local start-ups, along with their proposed growth strategies. As part of the presentation, a panel of business experts then offers their own critique/analysis of the strategy before an audience of other entrepreneurs, financiers and other high-tech executives.
